Luke 22:39-42 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
Luke 22:40 Prayer will prevent you from entering into temptation. Prayer has the power, ability to destroy or remove the lust of temptation from our lives. Prayer is able to defend, save and rescue us from temptations of the devil.
Prayer is an antidote to temptation. If you don't pray you're most likely to enter into temptation. Prayer makes you spiritual and quickens your mortal body to resist temptation. Pray without ceasing 1Thess 5:17
Luke 22:42 When the going got tough Jesus prayed that If God is willing the cup of death be removed. Whatever we are facing Jesus felt the same, to the extent of praying to God to remove death from Him. He then conceded Father let your will be done. Beloved pray for the will of to be done in your life, not your wishes. Let us emulate Jesus and pray in tough times, in distresses, afflictions, in sorrows etc Father let your will be done IJN
